    Connecting Capital and Innovation: Nate Wasson of HalBar Partners | S2: E22

    Nate Wasson is featured on today’s Founder’s Story. Nate Wasson is Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer of HalBar Partners, where he leads strategic fund initiatives. Nate and his team recognize that capital can be a catalyst, but it’s not the only requirement for growth. HalBar is redefining entrepreneurship through acquisition. 
    According to Nate, HalBar’s entrepreneurship through acquisition strategy solves two pain points: one for the entrepreneur searching for a company and the second for the investor who wants to invest in the search fund as an asset class instead of investing in companies one by one. The ETA strategy in partnership with Novastone Capital Advisors, which has the largest ETA program in the world; HalBar operates in that sweet spot of growth equity and invests in profitable companies with demonstrated upside, increased revenues and margins, and the multiple expansion between early-stage middle-market and later-stage middle-market.
